How do you judge photo quality?

I don't have a camera phone nor experience with one, so I usually look at how many pixels or megapixels it has.

I thought that the higher the pixel the higher the camera quality.

So if the phone display can't really show you the picture quality how do you get an accurate reading of how the pictures will turn out after being printed?

Yes, the quality of the picture can be determined by the pixel rating of the camera. The reason you can't judge it based on the picture on the screen is because the display quality varies on different pho...(continues)

No, camera quality is not nearly as simple as the pixel size. The are VGA cameras that produce much better-quality photos than some megapixel ones. Large size (more pixels) does not equal higher quality.

But juding camera quality by the phone screen is a different issue. The problem is that a phone display - even the largest and best - is too small to see even 1/10th of a full-resolution megapixel image at once.

Plus if you're comparing one camera phone to another, it can be hard to know if the difference you see is due to the camera or the display.

So you need to transfer the image to a PC and view it there, to be able to see the whole image and judge the quality fairly against other camera phones.
